14 DAY TRIAL // Steven Shiau has released a new testing version of his Clonezilla Live CD distribution that allows users to easily and quickly clone disk drives, an operation that is also known as disk imaging. Clonezilla Live 2.3.2-22 is a testing (read: unstable) release based on the Debian Sid software repositories as of February 17, 2015.
As expected, the new development release of Clonezilla Live includes an updated piece of clonezilla software, version 3.13.29-drbl1. Additionally, the DRBL (Diskless Remote Boot in Linux) utility, which is used in the distribution to deploy GNU/Linux operating systems across multiple clients, has been updated to version 2.13.7-drbl1.
Thanks to Greg Bell, a new boot parameter has been added to Clonezilla Live 2.3.2-22, allowing the user to set the logging level for error messages that are outputted in the console. The parameter is called “ocs_dmesg_n” and if not set, it will prevent all messages except panic ones.
The single white space for target_parts bug has been fixed
Moreover, a bug has been fixed in this new unstable release of Clonezilla Live, thanks to Borksoft who reported the problem. The bug is related to the single white space for target_parts, which should be treated as nothing.
Last but not least, several translations have been updated, including English (US), Spanish, Italian, German, Catalan, Japanese, French, and Slovak. You can download Clonezilla Live 2.3.2-22 right now from Softpedia, but keep in mind that it is an unstable release that still includes bugs. It is not recommended to be used on production environments.
Supports 32-bit PAE, 32-bit non-PAE, and 64-bit systems
Clonezilla Live 2.3.2-22 is distributed as Live CD ISO images for modern 64-bit computers, 32-bit PAE systems, as well as 32-bit non-PAE PCs. For more details on how to use Clonezilla Live to clone disks, please check the product’s official homepage.
With the occasion, Steven Shiau sent his thanks to people who contributed to this release “Thanks to Juan Ramón Martínez, Gianfranco Gentili, Michael Vinzenz, Ondrej Dzivy Balucha, René Mérou, Akira YOSHIYAMA, and Jean-Francois Nifenecker,” according to the official release notes.
